Yang Huiming, a famous scholar, commented on Bashan in this way: There are many painters and millions of arty people in China art world today. However, there are very few poems, paintings and calligraphy. Bashan has been grazing in the valley and strange mountain firewood since childhood, and gained the aura of Bashan Shushui. Later, he lived in Shandong, paid homage to Confucius, and boarded Daiyue, with a broad mind. His works are a little more profound in Qilu culture and magnificent in northern landscape, so his works are unique. Bashan's handsome, bold, simple, passionate and heroic personality is precisely the innate gene of Bashan's poetry and calligraphy works.
Guan Bashan's works are bold and unrestrained, which seems to have the wind of poetry and immortals. He has read many poems, and his talent is remarkable. Bashan calligraphy, which has been fascinated by Dan Qing's skill for decades, is vigorous and powerful, with extraordinary momentum, both rigid and flexible, pleasing to the eye and refreshing. Moreover, the poems and couplets he wrote are all original and even more valuable. In the past, Cao Zhi wrote a seven-step poem, and Bashan often wrote one. Stories of past dynasties are handed down at will, and you can use whatever you want, and beauty is beautiful. Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Yellow Crane Tower and many other scenic spots have invited Bashan to write couplets. His improvised long poems, such as Deng Sima Tai, Deng Taibai Lou, Deng Langjie Tai Fu, and Dai Dai, have become masterpieces of local scenic spots.
Bashan's paintings and calligraphy, or splashing ink on mountains and rivers, or poetic literati, or handy flower-and-bird sketches, or impromptu poetry couplets, not only concentrate and admire the natural beauty of heaven and earth, but also have profound philosophical thinking, praise justice and kindness, pity people's livelihood, ridicule decay and ugliness, and carry forward the value of civilization. Reading some of his works, the artistic conception has gone beyond the picture.
